In large-format pieces she combines photographic material with paintings that refer to patterns from traditional knotted or woven tapestries. Her artistic process uses bleach, and the associated process of abstraction moreover creates an examination of change and blank spaces within a specific cultural narrative. In her exhibition at the SCHIRN, Kara combines this with sculptural elements that she has developed specifically in reference to the architecture of the Rotunda. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-linkliste-vertikal'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-10'>\n<h1 class='ho-sd-h5' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Read more<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons buttons-flex-direction-column'>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schirn.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/01_Schirn_Press_Melike_Kara_en.pdf\"  target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Press release<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/medien-video-links-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 '>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Exhibition film<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-11 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-7 col-md-offset-0'>\n\n<div  class='lazy-media-play-content-wrapper margin-bottom-7'><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_rl9N7W\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 7700,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-300x138.png\",\"width\":300,\"height\":138,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":20947},\"large\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-1024x471.png\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":471,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":157680},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-768x354.png\",\"width\":768,\"height\":354,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":99179},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-1536x707.png\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":707,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":300479},\"small\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-440x203.png\",\"width\":440,\"height\":203,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":39260},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-580x267.png\",\"width\":580,\"height\":267,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":62507},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-720x332.png\",\"width\":720,\"height\":332,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":88956},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_-1280x589.png\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":589,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/png\",\"filesize\":224670},\"original\":{\"file\":\"header_Screenshot__133_.png\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":884}},\n\"alt\" : \"\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/02\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : \"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=tcXQUpsjUVU\",\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : {\"x\":0.5,\"y\":0.5},\n\"background\" : true,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;
